Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

[Masquerade]

Took a lot of groups. but today I got my 500 Player Commendations and unlocked the Gilded Magitek Armor.

Not really crazy about the way Magitek mounts look. But I love mine, because it feels more earned. And it reminds me that I got it by making a positive contribution for other gamers.

This. Expecting your co-healer to solo-heal everything, in a dungeon that the game creators specifically designed to be healed by 2 people, is frankly just plain asinine. If you queued as a healer, do your damn job, instead of DPSing. If you want to DPS, queue as a DPS.

I queue as a SCH for a lot of duties because I love its versatility. I've had Praetorium duties where I could sit in cleric stance 99% of the time, switching out only to supply succor and maybe a lustrate for someone who took a hit.

I've had Castrum duties where I go into a big pull and I have to drop cleric stance and focus on party heals, my co healer dies, I have to raise them, and use every trick I have to prevent more deaths. Tanks love those big pulls but not every group is created equal, not every tank can hold all the hate, and not every healer can prioritize a sudden influx of party wide damage. Healing and preventing dumb wipes comes first.

That is basically what I was saying. I have all 3 healer jobs at 60, all their job quests done. I enjoy DPSing as a healer too, but I know when to cut the crap and heal.

AST used to be my main healer job, but Wiping Shitty convinced me to switch to SCH because there is nothing better than deploying an Adlo crit and watching Ozma's meteors hit for nothing.

you lucky that nin didnt tell you to read a guide and to gid gud.

Who's the "nin" btw? I'm so totally at lost... Maybe... instead of asking others to apologize, you should first explain who's this mysterious "nin"?

Sadly, this happens, since people don't bother learning about the other classes in the game. Sure, one can just play one's main only forever, but since it's a cooperative game, I would strongly advice at least looking up what the others can do. I am actually working on a visual guide to help with that, will have to get back on it.

It's not really because they don't bother, but there are people who learn along the way and it's probably their first time seeing such skills. The darkside tooltips has "slowly drain MP" in it, with that much description, it's normal for one to think it maybe a debuff..

Who does that? Really? Do people really use their stuns as part of a rotation? I'm sincerely curious about that? Seriously, I can't even use mine on accident. I have it mapped to a specific key that can't even be "fat fingered." I use it when it's needed, and if you see dps doing otherwise they should be told it's not exactly the most optimal use of a rotation. Not to mention it should be saved for when it actually IS needed.

Monks have Steel Peak and shoulder tackle, Drgs have Leg Sweep, Wars have Brutal Swing, Nins have Juggulate (depending on poison used) Drks have Low Blow + Dark Dance is a DPS increase should you be spamming it? No. But you can tab target and stun others for 5 seconds and use it on bosses that don't require a perfect stun on an ability whenever it's up for Low Blow. If you don't use Steel Peak or Leg Sweep (as you are a drg main) or Juggulate it makes me wonder how you prioritize your DPS, I don't care if an add that's gonna be blown up in 5 seconds is stunned and dies before it even goes off my problem is raids/24 mans and when people overstun due to DR and you cannot stun the ability that needs to be stunned which is why I said you're not grasping what I was trying to say which many people have told you.

One of the comments earlier was about asking a nin what the buff from Shadewalker was.

[Annah]

Yeah the entire party was slacking but they should blame me of course.

Tank that' aint getting aggro, dps that aren't avoiding damages, healer that was too busy writing on chat than casting.

Why should i bother myself with people that worry too much of the others playstyle instead of their one ?

I was the second DPS, yet i haven't pointed it so blaming me because slackers were slacking that's stupid.

So please keep your anger and continue slacking.

When the party wipes and you are the co healer and you're DPSing...sorry...but yeah ..it's kinda your fault.

If I ever dps in a full party as a WHM I look at their health pretty darn carefully.

When Im in a full group and the party is about to wipe, i certainly would not be casting stone 2

[Arkenne]

The other day me and 3 friends queued for an expert roulette.

Since we were all 4 slots occupied we were a bit carefree about life, so this time I said "nah, dont feel like tanking" and selected my monk job.
Problem was that we (despite being on TS) didn't get to tell who was going to play tanking.

Hence we ended up doing the Sorh kai thing dun with 3 DPS and 1 Healer...

It was an almost wiping mess for the most of the dun and I ended up tanking every boss anyway :|

So much for taking a break from tanking...

[AnaviAnael]

Ignorance is not being bad is ..not knowing. Many healers, and dps at that too, in Titan HM dont have a clue what that debuff does even not that it is a debuff as such. I am pretty sure that if today you are here calling healers bad for something they probably didnt know, is because someone told/explained to you at one point what it is right ? Maybe you should have done the same, which probably you didnt as I see it or else you would have told us so right ?

I guess saying, "Esuna please" wasn't enough.

[SpiritMuse]

Ran a sub 20 minute Hullbreaker HM. Tank loses hate to my BLM a few times. End of final boss, tank says "lol low dps" and leaves. He was not exactly helping the stereotype of rude French players...
